Me too, but you know what, I fully believe if it had been done earlier, I wouldn't be as good a potential nurse....Im almost 29 and although not old by any means, my life experience with having 4 kids, plus my experience working for child protection has given me tons of experience to use in nursing school and as an RN. Im ready!! Our grad date is May 18 I think.

Just finished 3rd semester TODAY! Final exam study, study, study, passed! Yeaaa! One more semester to go. Graduation May 10 2013!
This semester started with 140 students we lost 27 up to and including the final. I just wished i would have done this sooner, much sooner. I'll be just short of turning 57 when I graduate. LPN-RN bridge is the route I've taken. It can be done.

I think i look at my countdown app everyday on my phone so i can remind myself that graduation is VERY near! I had ICU this past semester, which was by far my most favorite clinical experience. The class itself, I HATED with every fiber of my being... It was the toughest class of my program, but I learned so much. I took community health over the summer so I wouldn't have to take it with ICU, turns out that was a VERY good choice. We start back up jan 7 and I have some pretty basic courses, which is a great relief after ICU. Taking a gerontology course, perspectives (area hospitals come and talk to us and we get interview tips...), and my management course and practicum which is our preceptorship. May 16 I will be receiving my BSN!!!! CAN'T WAIT!!! These past three years have been the most trying I have ever experienced but would do it all over again in a heartbeat. :nurse:

I am so glad we are on break! Im loving pediatrics so far and we finish peds in February and then start Critical Care/preceptorship, so Im very nervous for that!

I have to say that I am going to miss it, I've formed a bond with teachers and some of the students and will miss seeing them all the time.

I graduate on May 3rd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm excited but nervous because the last semester is the hardest semester at my school!!

Katniss88 · Dec 24, 2012

At my school I've heard the last semester is very busy but not hard. Second semester is considered the hardest at my school and they say if can get through that semester you should be fine, it's an OB/Peds class and a med surg class.
